Mizuno

The Mizuno B6 BT Baseball Batting Helmet delivers the lightweight, secure protection your hitters need to dig in and stay locked on the pitcher. Built for players at every level, it pairs a proven impact-resistant shell with a fitted interior so it stays put through hard swings, base running, and slides. For athletic directors and coaches outfitting a program, the B6 is a dependable, budget-friendly helmet that meets the safety standard required for game play.

Key features & specs

• Durable, lightweight ABS plastic shell for high-level impact protection
• Innovative Honeycomb Shell pattern reduces overall helmet weight without sacrificing strength
• EVA foam inner core for shock absorption and interior comfort
• Drylite liner helps control moisture and keep the head cool and dry
• Meets NOCSAE standards for baseball batting helmets
• Available in Adult and Youth sizes, in Glossy and Solid Matte finishes
• Style #VAR-380385

Coach's tip: Have each athlete measure the circumference of their head just above the ears and match it to Mizuno's size chart for a snug, no-wobble fit. Care: Wipe the shell clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, air dry away from direct heat, and store out of hot vehicles or direct sun to protect the shell and liner.

The Mizuno Samurai Women's Catcher's Box Set delivers dependable, mid-level protection engineered for the fastpitch catcher. Built with a women's fastpitch fit, the Samurai set combines reliable impact protection, an adjustable secure fit, and season-long durability so catchers can work behind the plate with confidence. It's a smart, complete value for high school and travel fastpitch programs outfitting their backstops.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-380421 — Samurai women's fastpitch catcher's box set
• Complete mid-level protective package with a women's fastpitch fit
• Includes a catcher's helmet/mask, chest protector, and leg guards
• Reliable padding tuned to absorb fastpitch impact and foul tips
• Adjustable straps for a secure, mobile fit behind the plate
• Confirm exact included components and NOCSAE certification for your fastpitch league

Coach's tip: A fastpitch-specific fit matters — set the chest protector to contour the torso without gapping in the stance, and adjust the leg guards so the knee cup stays centered through blocks and pop-up throws. Air every piece out after games to keep odor down, wipe the shells clean, and store the set loose rather than crammed in a bag so the padding retains its protective shape.

The Mizuno Samurai Youth Catcher's Box Set gives young catchers reliable, mid-level protection in a complete, value-driven package. Sized for youth players, the Samurai set combines dependable impact protection with an adjustable, secure fit so developing catchers can learn the position with confidence — and coaches and parents get a proven, affordable way to outfit a backstop from head to shin.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-380420 — Samurai youth catcher's box set
• Complete mid-level protective package sized for young catchers
• Includes a catcher's helmet/mask, chest protector, and leg guards
• Reliable padding engineered to absorb pitch and foul-tip impact
• Adjustable straps for a secure fit that moves with the player
• Confirm exact included components and NOCSAE certification for your youth league

Coach's tip: For young catchers, dial in the fit before the first practice — the chest protector should cover the sternum without gapping in the crouch, and the leg guards should stay centered on the knee during blocks. Recheck the straps as the athlete grows through the season. Air the set out after games, wipe down the shells, and store it loose so the foam keeps its protective cushioning.

The Mizuno Samurai Men's Catcher's Box Set delivers dependable, mid-level catcher's protection in a complete, ready-to-play package. Built for competitive play at a smart value, the Samurai set gives adult catchers the impact protection, secure fit, and season-long durability they need behind the plate without stepping up to a full pro-level price — an ideal choice for high school programs and rec leagues outfitting their backstops.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-380417 — Samurai men's catcher's box set
• Complete mid-level catcher's protective package
• Includes a catcher's helmet/mask, chest protector, and leg guards
• Reliable padding tuned to absorb impact from pitches and foul tips
• Adjustable, secure fit for comfort and mobility behind the plate
• Sized for adult catchers — confirm exact included components and NOCSAE certification for your league

Coach's tip: The Samurai is a great value for programs equipping multiple catchers — fit each set so the chest protector covers the sternum and the leg-guard knee cup sits centered, and label the bag so gear stays with the right player. Air the pieces out after games, wipe down the shells, and store the set loose rather than compressed so the padding holds its shape all season.

The Mizuno Shogun Youth Catcher's Box Set brings Mizuno's pro-level catching protection to younger players in a complete, ready-to-play package. Sized specifically for youth catchers, the Shogun set pairs advanced impact protection with a secure, mobile fit so developing athletes can settle in behind the plate with confidence — and parents can trust that their catcher is properly protected through every blocked pitch and foul tip.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-380451 — Shogun youth catcher's box set
• Complete pro-level protective package sized for young catchers
• Includes a catcher's helmet/mask, chest protector, and leg guards
• Advanced padding engineered to absorb and disperse impact
• Adjustable fit designed to move with the athlete and grow with them
• Confirm exact included components and NOCSAE certification for your youth league

Coach's tip: Fit is everything for young catchers — set the chest protector to cover the sternum without gapping when they crouch, and adjust the leg-guard straps so the gear stays put instead of shifting during blocks. Reassess the fit each season as the player grows. Air the set out after every game, wipe down the shells, and store it loose so the padding keeps its protective loft.

The Mizuno Shogun Men's Catcher's Box Set outfits the varsity and travel-level catcher with a complete, pro-level protective package in one box. Engineered for the athlete who logs full games behind the plate, the Shogun set combines advanced impact protection, a secure fit, and the durability to survive a demanding season of blocked pitches and foul tips — everything a serious catcher needs to stay protected and confident inning after inning.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-380448 — Shogun men's catcher's box set
• Complete pro-level catcher's protective package
• Includes a catcher's helmet/mask, chest protector, and leg guards
• Advanced padding engineered to absorb and disperse impact
• Adjustable, secure fit built for mobility behind the plate
• Sized for adult catchers — confirm exact included components and NOCSAE certification for your league

Coach's tip: Fit the chest protector so it covers the sternum and collarbone without riding up when the catcher drops into a stance, and set the leg guards so the knee cup sits centered — proper fit is what makes premium gear actually protect. Air out every piece after games to prevent odor, wipe down the shells, and store the set loose rather than crammed in a bag so the padding keeps its shape.

The Mizuno Pro Fungo Bat is a coaching essential built to make hitting grounders and fly balls easier, more accurate, and easier on the body. Its long, lightweight profile lets coaches drive crisp fungoes to the infield and outfield rep after rep during pregame and practice without the fatigue of swinging a standard game bat. Available in multiple lengths for both baseball and fastpitch programs, with a Carbon Pro version also offered.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340293 — Pro fungo bat
• Long, lightweight fungo profile for controlled, repeatable hitting
• Designed for coaches hitting infield and outfield practice
• Available in multiple lengths for baseball and fastpitch
• Carbon Pro version also available for added durability
• Built to reduce coach fatigue during long fielding sessions

Coach's tip: A fungo is a coaching tool, not a game bat — use a self-toss and let the bat's length and light swing weight do the work so you can place balls precisely to each fielding station. Keep separate lengths for infield (shorter, quicker) and outfield (longer, more carry) reps. Store it dry and upright, and wipe it down after use to keep the barrel and grip in shape.

The Mizuno Bamboo Classic MZB Wood Bat gives developing hitters an affordable, durable entry point into wood-bat training. Its bamboo construction produces a strong, dense barrel that stands up to the repeated contact of tee work, soft toss, and cage sessions far better than traditional single-piece hardwoods — making it an easy, budget-friendly way to build a wood-bat swing without constantly replacing broken barrels.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340464 — Bamboo Classic MZB wood bat
• Entry-level laminated bamboo construction for practice and development
• Strong, dense barrel engineered to resist flaking and breakage
• Durable build ideal for high-volume tee, toss, and cage work
• Affordable option for programs outfitting multiple hitters
• Available in multiple lengths — confirm the size for your hitter; bamboo is typically approved for practice, not sanctioned games

Coach's tip: Stock a few Bamboo Classics as team practice bats so your hitters get real wood-bat feedback — you feel every mishit — without burning through pricier maple. Keep them dry and stored upright indoors, wipe them down after use, and check your league's rules before any game use, as most wood-bat sanctions require solid one-piece wood on the field.

The Mizuno Bamboo Elite Classic MZE wood bat is crafted for players who want the classic feel of a wood bat with significantly enhanced durability. Its premium bamboo construction delivers a strong, dense barrel with excellent pop and a satisfying feel on contact — an ideal choice for training, cage work, and players developing their swing with a wood bat that holds up to heavy day-after-day use far better than traditional single-piece hardwoods.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340462 — Bamboo Elite Classic MZE wood bat
• Premium laminated bamboo construction for outstanding durability
• Strong, dense barrel with excellent pop and a solid feel
• Built to withstand high-volume training and cage work
• A cost-effective, long-lasting alternative to maple or ash for practice
• Available in multiple lengths — confirm the size for your hitter and note bamboo is typically approved for practice, not sanctioned wood-bat games

Coach's tip: Bamboo bats are the workhorse of wood-bat training because the laminated construction resists the flaking and breakage that ends a maple bat's life early — perfect for daily tee and BP reps. Keep it dry, wipe it down after sessions, and store it upright indoors. Confirm your league's wood-bat rules before game use, since many sanctions require solid one-piece wood on the field.

The Mizuno Pro Batch MZM Wood Bat is crafted from premium maple for the serious hitter who demands professional-level performance. Its hard maple construction delivers a dense, powerful barrel with a clean feel on contact and the durability to hold up through demanding training and competitive game use. Built for players who trust wood and won't settle for anything less than a pro-quality stick, it's an ideal choice for wood-bat leagues and swing development.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340677 — Pro Batch MZM maple wood bat
• Premium hard maple construction for a dense, powerful barrel
• Clean, solid feel on contact preferred by advanced hitters
• Durable build suited to wood-bat leagues, training, and games
• Traditional wood profile that rewards a disciplined, on-barrel swing
• Available in multiple lengths — confirm the length and weight for your hitter

Coach's tip: Teach hitters to line up the wood grain or brand label facing up or down at contact — striking on the edge grain is what keeps a maple bat from flaking or cracking. Store wood bats standing upright in a dry place, avoid leaving them in a damp bag or hot car, and wipe them clean after use to preserve the finish and the life of the barrel.

The Mizuno FP Training Cage Bat is purpose-built for batting practice and repetitive cage work. Its durable construction is made to handle the high volume of contact that comes with daily training sessions, giving fastpitch players a reliable, affordable option for grooving their swing mechanics without putting wear on their game bats. For programs that log hours in the cage, it is a smart way to protect the premium bats that come out on game day.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340655 — FP training cage bat
• Durable build engineered for high-volume batting practice
• Designed to absorb the wear of daily cage and tee work
• Affordable training option that preserves the life of game bats
• A practical swing-development tool for fastpitch programs of every size
• Available in multiple lengths — confirm the size that fits your hitters

Coach's tip: Designate cage bats as practice-only and keep game bats in the bag until game day — it's the simplest way to extend the life of your best barrels. Because it's a dedicated training bat, it isn't intended for sanctioned competition, so don't rely on it for a certification stamp. Wipe it down after cage sessions and store it at room temperature so it stays a dependable workhorse all season.

The Mizuno F27-CRBN1 fastpitch bat is engineered with advanced carbon fiber composite construction that delivers explosive bat speed, a massive sweet spot, and the lightweight performance fastpitch hitters need to drive the ball with authority.

Key features & specs

• Full carbon fiber composite barrel for a large, responsive sweet spot
• Lightweight, balanced swing profile built for bat speed
• Engineered for competitive fastpitch at every level
• Composite construction tuned for pop and a clean feel on contact
• Available in multiple lengths and drops — confirm the certification stamp your fastpitch league requires

Coach's tip: Break the barrel in with 100–200 controlled swings off a tee and soft toss, rotating it slightly between hits, before live at-bats so the composite fully loads. Protect composite bats from cold weather to prevent cracking, store them indoors at room temperature, and wipe them down after each use to keep the finish and grip in peak condition through the season.

The Mizuno F26-CRBN X fastpitch bat is engineered with advanced carbon fiber composite construction that delivers explosive bat speed, a massive sweet spot, and the lightweight performance fastpitch hitters need to drive the ball with authority.

• Full carbon fiber composite barrel for a large, responsive sweet spot
• Lightweight, balanced build engineered for bat speed and control
• Designed for competitive fastpitch play across all levels
• Composite construction tuned for pop and a smooth feel through the zone
• Available in multiple lengths and drops — confirm the certification stamp your fastpitch league requires

Coach's tip: Give this composite bat a proper break-in of 100–200 controlled tee and soft-toss swings, rotating the barrel between hits, before taking it into games so it reaches peak trampoline. Never swing a composite bat in cold conditions, store it indoors at room temperature, and wipe the barrel clean after each use to keep the finish and grip performing all season.

The Mizuno F27-CRBN PRO fastpitch bat is engineered with advanced carbon fiber composite construction that delivers explosive bat speed, a massive sweet spot, and the lightweight performance fastpitch hitters need to drive the ball with authority. Designed to meet the demands of competitive fastpitch at every level, it offers the balance of pop, precision, and durability that serious players expect from Mizuno's top-tier composite line.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340710 — F27 Carbon Pro fastpitch softball bat
• Full carbon fiber composite construction for a large, responsive sweet spot
• Lightweight, balanced swing profile built for bat speed
• Engineered for competitive fastpitch play at every level
• Composite barrel tuned for pop and a smooth feel on contact
• Available in multiple lengths and drops — confirm the certification stamp your fastpitch league requires

Coach's tip: Break a composite fastpitch bat in gradually — 100–200 controlled swings off a tee and soft toss, rotating the barrel slightly between hits, before live BP — so the barrel reaches full performance. Keep composite bats out of cold weather (below roughly 60°F) to avoid cracking, store them indoors at room temperature, and wipe them down after each session to preserve the finish and grip.

The Mizuno B26 HOT METAL Coach Pitch bat brings the Hot Metal line's power to the youngest hitters. Built for coach-pitch and entry-level youth leagues, its cutting-edge alloy construction delivers explosive bat speed, an expanded sweet spot, and the durability to survive a season of eager young swings. The lighter, coach-pitch-specific build helps developing players get the barrel to the ball and build confidence at the plate.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340688 — B26 Hot Metal Coach Pitch baseball bat
• Advanced alloy barrel engineered for speed and pop
• Expanded sweet spot for more forgiving contact by young hitters
• Lightweight coach-pitch build for easy, controllable swings
• Durable one-piece alloy that holds up to daily practice
• Available in multiple lengths — confirm the length and certification your coach-pitch league requires

Coach's tip: For coach-pitch players, fit matters more than power — pick a length the child can control with a level, balanced swing, and let bat speed do the work. Verify the certification stamp your league requires before ordering. Alloy bats need no break-in and are ready for the first practice; wipe the barrel down after use and store it at room temperature so it lasts through multiple young hitters.

The Mizuno B26 PWR ALLOY baseball bat is built for players who want to combine raw power with reliable construction. Advanced alloy engineering produces a strong, durable barrel with a forgiving sweet spot that delivers consistent performance on contact across the entire hitting zone. It is a great option for competitive players looking to add pop to their game without sacrificing durability.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340676 — B26 PWR Alloy baseball bat
• Advanced alloy barrel tuned for power and durability
• Forgiving sweet spot for consistent contact across the barrel
• Sturdy one-piece alloy feel built to last a full season
• Game-ready performance with no break-in period
• Available in multiple lengths and weights — confirm the certification stamp (USA/USSSA) for your league

Coach's tip: Choose the length and drop that let your hitter stay quick and balanced through the zone — a bat that's too heavy costs bat speed and pop. Match the certification stamp to your league's rules before ordering. Alloy barrels are ready to swing immediately and handle cold-weather play well; wipe the bat down after each use and store it indoors to protect the finish and keep the grip tacky all season.

The Mizuno B26 HOT METAL bat is built for power hitters looking to take their game to the next level. Cutting-edge alloy construction delivers explosive bat speed, an expanded sweet spot, and impressive durability through a full season of hard contact. The enhanced barrel design ensures every swing is loaded with maximum power, making it the choice for players who want to dominate at the plate.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340684 — B26 Hot Metal baseball bat
• Advanced alloy barrel engineered for explosive speed and pop
• Expanded sweet spot for more forgiving, powerful contact
• Durable, one-piece alloy feel that stands up to heavy use
• Game-ready out of the wrapper — no break-in required
• Available in multiple lengths and weights — confirm the certification stamp (USA/USSSA) your league requires

Coach's tip: Confirm the drop weight and certification your youth league mandates before ordering, and fit the bat to the hitter's size and strength so they can control the barrel through the zone rather than just swing hard. Alloy bats like the Hot Metal need no break-in and tolerate cold better than composite — just wipe it down after use and store it at room temperature to keep the barrel and grip in top shape.

The Mizuno B25 DUALITY is engineered with advanced alloy construction that delivers a balance of power and precision at the plate. A massive sweet spot and a strong, durable barrel are built to withstand the toughest contact, whether the hitter is driving the ball to all fields or looking to find a gap. It is designed to enhance the swing and maximize plate performance for players who take their hitting seriously.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340673 — B25 Duality baseball bat

• Balanced feel that pairs power with bat control
• Available in BBCOR (high school/NCAA) and USA-certified versions
• Ready-to-swing alloy performance with no break-in period required
• Offered in multiple lengths and weights — confirm the certification and drop for your league

Coach's tip: Match the certification to the league before you buy — order the BBCOR version for high school and college play and the USA-stamped version for youth leagues that require it. Unlike composite bats, this alloy barrel is game-ready straight out of the wrapper and holds up in cold weather. Wipe it down after each use and store it out of extreme heat to protect the finish and keep the grip tacky.

The Mizuno B27-CRBN PRO is a premium BBCOR baseball bat engineered for varsity and travel-level hitters who want a true, balanced composite feel at the plate. Built around a multi-layer carbon composite barrel, the B27 Carbon Pro delivers a large, responsive sweet spot and a smooth, controlled swing that helps disciplined hitters drive the ball with authority to all fields.

Key features & specs

• Style #VAR-340714 — B27 Carbon Pro BBCOR baseball bat

• Meets the BBCOR .50 standard for high school and NCAA competition
• Balanced swing profile suited to contact and gap-to-gap hitters
• Available in multiple lengths — confirm the length/weight that fits your hitter

Coach's tip: Composite barrels reward a proper break-in — have hitters take 100–200 controlled swings off a tee and soft toss, rotating the barrel a quarter turn between hits, before taking it into live BP so the fibers fully load. Never use a composite bat in temperatures below about 60°F, as cold can crack the barrel; store it indoors at room temperature and wipe it down after each session to keep the finish and grip clean.

The Mizuno Revolt 4 Men's is a dependable everyday training shoe engineered to deliver responsive cushioning workout after workout. Whether the athlete is logging conditioning miles, moving through a cross-training circuit, or simply on their feet through a long day, the Revolt 4 provides the comfort and support to keep them going. Its all-purpose design makes it a smart, versatile pick for programs that want one reliable trainer for the whole team.

Key features & specs

• Style #520028 — Revolt 4 men's training shoe
• Responsive cushioning for comfort and energy return through training
• Versatile build suited to running, gym work, and daily wear
• Supportive upper designed to hold up to high-volume use
• All-purpose design for team conditioning and everyday athletic wear
• Mizuno craftsmanship trusted by athletes at every level

Coach's tip: For athletes doing a mix of running and lifting, the cushioned Revolt 4 handles the conditioning side well — pair it with a flatter trainer for max-effort strength days if your program lifts heavy. To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate pairs during heavy training weeks, pull the insoles to dry after sweaty sessions, and air dry away from direct heat.

The Mizuno Revolt 4 is a versatile unisex training shoe built to keep athletes moving comfortably through everyday workouts, conditioning, and active days on their feet. With responsive cushioning and an all-purpose design, the Revolt 4 works equally well for a team's warm-up miles, cross-training sessions, and general athletic wear, making it an easy, dependable choice for programs that need one shoe to cover a lot of ground.

Key features & specs

• Style #520030 — Revolt 4 unisex training shoe
• Responsive cushioning for comfort through runs and training
• Versatile design suited to gym work, conditioning, and daily wear
• Unisex sizing for flexible outfitting across a roster
• Durable upper engineered for everyday athletic use
• Mizuno craftsmanship trusted by athletes at every level

Coach's tip: A neutral, cushioned trainer like the Revolt 4 is a great default for team conditioning where athletes log varied mileage — have players rotate two pairs during heavy training blocks so the midsole foam has time to rebound between sessions. To care for them, wipe the uppers with a damp cloth, remove the insoles to dry after wet or sweaty workouts, and air dry away from direct heat to protect the cushioning.

The Mizuno TS-01 Men's Training Shoe is built for the athlete who does a little of everything — lifting, conditioning, court drills, and gym work — in a single versatile trainer. Engineered for stability and support through multi-directional movement, the TS-01 gives coaches and players a reliable cross-training option that transitions smoothly from the weight room to the court to the practice floor without missing a beat.

Key features & specs

• Style #520021 — TS-01 men's cross-training shoe
• Designed for gym, court, and general training use
• Supportive build engineered for lateral stability during cuts and lifts
• Cushioned platform to absorb impact through conditioning and jump work
• Durable upper made to hold up to daily, high-volume training
• Mizuno craftsmanship trusted by athletes at every level

Coach's tip: A flatter, stable trainer like the TS-01 is ideal for strength and agility sessions where you want the athlete connected to the floor rather than riding a tall running midsole — keep a dedicated pair for the weight room so game shoes stay fresh. To extend their life, loosen the laces before taking them on and off, wipe the uppers clean, and air dry away from direct heat rather than tossing them in the dryer.

The Mizuno Youth T10 Plus Knee Pad gives younger volleyball players dependable knee protection built for the demands of the court. As kids learn to pass, dig, and play the floor, their knees take constant contact from hardwood dives and drops. The T10 Plus absorbs that impact and delivers comfortable coverage through long practices and competitive matches, staying securely in place during the most demanding plays so young athletes — and their parents — can trust the protection on every rep.

Key features & specs

• Style #480212 — Youth T10 Plus volleyball knee pad
• Sized specifically for younger volleyball athletes
• Cushioned padding over the kneecap to absorb impact from dives and floor contact
• Designed to stay in place through dynamic defensive movement
• Comfortable, low-profile fit for extended wear across full practices and games
• Sold as a pair to protect both knees

Coach's tip: Have young players position the pad so the thickest cushioning sits directly over the kneecap, and check the fit as they grow so it never slides mid-rally. To care for them, hand wash in cool water with mild soap, avoid bleach, and air dry fully so the foam keeps its cushioning and the fabric its stretch all season long.

The Mizuno Padded Elbow Sleeves give volleyball players a layer of protection at one of the most exposed joints on the court. When athletes dig, dive, and sprawl to keep a ball alive, the elbows absorb repeated contact with the hardwood — and over a long season that impact adds up. These sleeves cushion each blow so players can commit fully to defensive plays without hesitation, whether they are learning to read hits or already logging aggressive minutes as a defensive specialist.

Key features & specs

• Style #480110 — padded elbow sleeves for volleyball
• Targeted padding over the elbow for dig and serve protection
• Sold as a pair, available in S/M and L/XL sizing and multiple colors
• Stretch construction designed to stay in place through dynamic defensive movement
• Low-profile fit that layers easily under or alongside other protective gear
• Built for players at every level, from developing passers to experienced liberos

Coach's tip: Have players slide the sleeves on before serve-receive and defensive drills so diving reps feel safe from day one — confident defenders get to more balls. To care for them, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, skip the bleach and dryer, and lay flat to air dry so the padding and stretch fabric keep their protective shape all season.

The Mizuno Practice Platforms are a smart new addition to the volleyball training market, giving players padded protection exactly where the ball and the floor take their toll — the forearms. Worn on the forearms during defensive work, these platforms cushion the impact of hard-driven balls and the friction of diving, sprawling, and pancake digs on the court. They are a versatile tool for beginners just learning floor defense and for experienced players who want extra protection during aggressive defensive sequences.

Key features & specs

• Padded forearm platforms designed for volleyball defense
• Multi-use wear: position the padding on the inner forearm to protect against ball impact, or on the lateral forearm to protect against floor contact
• Right- and left-specific fit for a contoured, secure feel on each arm
• Stretch fabric sleeve holds the padding in place through dynamic movement
• Subtle graphic design on the padding
• Suitable for all levels, from first-time defenders to seasoned liberos and defensive specialists

Coach's tip: Use the inner-forearm position during serve-receive and passing drills to build confidence on hard serves, and switch to the lateral position for dig-and-dive floor work. To care for them, hand wash in cool water, avoid bleach, and air dry so the stretch fabric and padding keep their shape and support season after season.

The Mizuno DXS2 Ankle Brace delivers targeted lateral support for athletes who need to protect a vulnerable ankle without giving up mobility. Built for volleyball, basketball, and any court or field sport where quick cuts, jumps, and landings put the ankle at risk, the DXS2 is designed to stabilize the joint against the rolling motion that causes most inversion sprains while still letting the foot move naturally through the play.

Key features & specs

• Style #480121 — DXS2 lateral ankle support brace
• Side-specific construction: available in a dedicated left or right fit for a precise, contoured feel
• One size, engineered to secure the ankle against inversion and rolling movements
• Low-profile design intended to fit comfortably inside most court and athletic footwear
• Supportive materials chosen to balance stability with breathability during extended play
• Ideal for athletes returning from a prior sprain or seeking preventive protection

Coach's tip: Order the correct side (left or right) for each athlete and have players wear the brace snug but not restrictive, laced under the shoe for a locked-in fit. To care for it, hand wash in cool water with mild soap and air dry fully before the next session to preserve the support materials and elastic. Keep a spare in the team kit so a player is never sidelined by a worn strap.
